A text editor written in Randal Hyde's high level assembly for Windows. While the original SavageEd was around 20-25k in size, the latest SavageEd is over 120k in size and I feel it can no longer be called a "small" text editor.

Feel free to open an issue if you encounter bugs or have suggestions for QOL improvements.

The source is set up as a HIDE project. HIDE binaries can be downloaded from https://github.com/Androthi/HIDE/releases

Open the hpr file in HIDE to build.

The editor uses windows richedit DLL.

Binaries are available at: https://github.com/Androthi/SavageEd/releases

Older versions may be available at:

See SavageEd.md for the manual, this is also available in the SavageEd help menu.

See CHANGE_LOG.md for changes between versions. Some versions may add features that aren't included in your current configuration file. It is possible to manually add these features, or delete the .ini file and have SavageEd create a new one.

SavageEd has already exceeded the goals that I originally intended to ship with it.

Everything added since has been quality-of-life improvements such as key bindings that I consider to be functional for fast editing, and any new features suggested by SavageEd users that I find interesting.

As it is now, it is feature complete.

However, as I find myself using this alsmost as much as my main code editor, I'm considering continuing with the project even though I have to fight the awful Windows API every step of the way.

Things under consideration for the roadmap to version 0.11. These are tentative as I have limited time and other projects to work on. Some require significant internal restructuring of code which will be a slow process (already underway).

• Customizable keyboard shortcuts

• Multiple buffers (with or without a tab bar)

  • Extend Find to search through all open buffers

• Autofill Find edit box with frequent searched items
